o.O
response to Max Joseph, Don C, Jon Miller, and Cameron Cohen's post Internet Porn
i come from a family that was literally torn apart by internet pornography, and have two romantic relationships in my past that were incredibly abusive/horribly ended by internet porn. so, let that preface what i am about to say, i suppose.
i appreciate Good's unbiased and objective view, but i am also hoping that in the issue they cover internet porn in a more negative light than they have here.
also, i was a little disappointed to watch the video and see what is basically pornography being used to talk about pornography. admittedly, very clever and kind of cute, but also a very light take on a serious issue.
i love your magazine and you guys seem great, but i guess when things hit closer to home, i start to feel a little more biased. to me, internet pornography doesn't seem to belong in a category labeled "Good".
Like this article? Tell the world It's Good!

Good/Not Good
As a woman who enjoys viewing pornography yet feels conflicted about it, o.O's comment really hit home. Hope that GOOD can follow up with a panel discussion/forum about the impact that "making light" of porn has on women who have been abused by those addicted to porn.

Speaking out
Yes! I also have had a relationship that was destroyed by porn and I have heard many women say the same and read many articles about the harms of porn.
Porn is influencing men and boys to brutalize women as several of these articles/web sites explain:
Pornography as a Cause of Rape
As 'rape' images rise, will life imitate porn?
Pornography forms French children's views on sex
Hustling the Left
Pornography is a Left Issue
Revisiting the Porn Debate
The Porn Debate
Not a Fantasy: Racial Hatred and Misogyny in Pornography
I hope the above articles will show what many men would like to sweep under the rug - that porn is harmful, misogynist, racist, and not harmless "naughty" fun.
